A Silent Voice - Shopping Street

In front of Ōgaki Station south exit there's a shopping street called OKB Street that's also shown in A Silent Voice.

Suimon river runs through a lot of the city and crosses the shopping street where there's a small bridge that's shown in the movie.

There's small bridges all over Ōgaki crossing Suimon River. You can spot another bridge through the railing if you look closely.

Further down the road there's this location. The building behind Ishida and Nishimiya is a Gifu Bus travel center. It was a sunny day, so they had rolled down some blinds from the roof covering the sidewalk.

The shopping street is called SKB Street in the movie.

Sidewalk detail.

All over the shopping street they had A Silent Voice banners.

There were different banners closer to Ōgaki Station.

Closeup.

And there were lots of A Silent Voice posters too.

Movie poster on the left and an OKB Street x A Silent Voice collaboration poster on the right.

The collaboration poster was for a tote bag you could get if you shopped for more than 2000 yen in participating stores on OKB Street.

Another tote bag with a different colour.

Close to the shopping street there's also a park called Ōgaki Park where this jungle gym is located. I've marked a path from a building near the bridge, passing by the bus travel center and ending up here in the map below.
